LeBron's playoff run in 2012 vs. Kobe's playoff run in 2009

pace

lakers are big team gotta slow it down

So you're saying their SIZE is what determined how they played?

So...

their size...

...was most important...

...to their play...

...see where I'm going with this...

[imdaman99]

kobes run because lebrons run was aided by injuries. shump would have been on him for long stretches and so would have been bradley in the ecf

either way, fcuk u and fcuk your clear as days agendas

it was just their gampelan because thats how the team was built. The heat were built differently, they could run and gun because they had wade. Doesnt mean wade was the most important player on the team because their gameplan wouldnt work as well without him


i feel like youre pooping on the keyboard and hoping an intelligent thought comes out but it doesnt seem to be happening

LBJ. he also guarded the best player on the opposing team for every series. He was never hidden on defense like Kobe was

Just stop.

We all know LeBron is a better rebounder, passer, & defender than Kobe which is why I said LeBron impacts the game in more ways.

And we are talking about the 2009 Lakers not 2012. Lakers in 2009 played at a 94.3 pace, 5th in the NBA. This is when we had Ariza who was a very good transition player, & Kobe, Gasol, Odom were all younger and could run the floor well.

LeBron and it's not remotely close.

irrelevant considering the game still slows down in playoffs and they didnt mind doing that, and they played against orl which loved to run.

Its still no bron wade bosh, they simply played faster. Its not a big deal. Orls defense and okc is night and day btw. You had to play slow against orl cuz theyll kill you.

ive never seen a game end and the refs count the rebounds to determine who wins. those are not the end all stats.

So wait, who was bron guarding in the C's series? KG or rondo? Cuz either way he got ****ing torched. Cuz I know pierce ain't their best player and so he couldn't have been guarding pierce according to you. He guarded durant? Wow first time I've ever seen a SF guard a SF!!

Anyone that would say something that dumb either is a complete hack, didn't watch the games or both. It's so bad, I'm going to put you on ignore.

Just. Incredibly. Dumb.

[WeGetRing2012]

Kobe's Game 3 vs the Nuggets
Kobe's Game 2 vs Rockets
Kobe's Game 1 vs Magic
Kobe's Game 3 vs Jazz

were all better than anything Lebron did. But the Lakers played so great has a team that year too.

And Kobe's 2010 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Lebron's

[BallsOut]

If you look at merely stats, its Lebron. If you factor in both contribution, level of competition, who Kobe has as a 2nd option vs. who Lebron has as a 2nd and 3rd option and 4th option in the refs, its Kobe's playoff run and it's not even close.

[PickernRoller]

The question is, would a Kobe 09', 10' led team have beaten an 11', 12' Lebron led team. The answer to that is super clear.

Something Lebron fans refuse to face.
